space question my son just asked

[mad4it028]

ok if we were to teliport to 230 million light years away and point our huge telescope several light years wide back at earth would we see dinosaurs or present day people ?

im damned if i know the answer i guess we would see dinosaurs ???/

We would see the Earth as it was 230 million years ago.

It's the light travelling to us we see, if we had a telescope looking back, I imagine we would only see light. If we had something that would let us see planets from long distances in detail, I imagine we'd see it as it is.

So long as we teliported instantly, then we would see earth 230 million years ago. The light would be coming mostly from the sun, bouncing off earth and then to you and that would take 230 million years.

Though he'd probably see them in black and white as colour doesn't hold up too well over those sorts of distances.

[Im-a-Ridah]

In theory, he'd see Dinosaurs. In reality at 230 milllion light years I'd guess making out Earth itself would be impressive, let alone stuff on the surface.

As the earth is only 6000 years old I doubt he'd see much of anything.

It shouldn't be long before we can abstract the whole from a single photon, if quantum-mechanics gives an accurate analysis of light. Every single photon should share the same information as every other photon in the universe. We just need the right kind of telescope/technology.

Or summfink.

The square root of 1'000'000 is 1'000.

That's how the dinosaurs went extinct. The planet got whacked by a bloody great telescope.
